The Hound 7/11

Tracking 15% cuts at the State Department, a whistleblower campaign at DoJ, and more.

July 11, 2025

Hi there,

It’s Friday. Today, we’re talking about the steep personnel cuts being made at the State Department, a whistleblower complaint at DoJ, and more.

We’re also tracking Fox News’ decision to broadcast a propaganda show hosted by Trump’s daughter-in-law, Lara — a blatant disregard for journalistic integrity.

🖊️ Sign our petition now and tell Fox News to stop trying to turn news outlets into state-run TV.

Read about this, and more, with today’s stories:
